In a statement, the Democratic legislator reported that her husband "will continue to be under medical care while he continues to progress in a long process of recovery and convalescence," and asked for privacy for him and his family.

"The Pelosi family is grateful for the beautiful outpouring of love, support, and prayers from around the world. Paul is grateful to the emergency operator, the emergency services, the trauma care team, the ICU staff, and all the ZSFGH medical staff for the excellent and compassionate life-saving treatment he received after the violent assault on our home," Nancy Pelosi's press office said in the letter.
